Course title: Socio-economic processes – community – regional development Language of instruction: English Location: Pécs Campus Form of teaching: practice, field trip Form of assessment: written summary Course description: A significant aspect of the inequalities emerging in the 90s is the escalation of regional differences. The West Transdanubian region and the one around the capital are in a more favourable situation in terms of unemployment and wage standards, than the other regions. Investment of working capital is expected to keep concentrating in the regions around Budapest and in West Transdanubia – which will probably result in a faster
17 development of these regions, at the same time it will “drain” the capital away from the less developed regions. The determinant factors in the socio-economic space are the flow of working capital, change, growth (both in quality and quantity) and structural change of economic space, as well as economic development bringing about social welfare and modernization. Hungary has to rely even more intensively on its own resources in the global competition, and the quality and quantity of skilled labour plays a major role in achieving this. The subject overwiews the main socio-economic and labour market processes that result a strong center-periphery relationship in Hungary. The main goals in the governmental role, employment policy, and how Hungary plans the renewal through the „new” national strategies and European Union funds.
